Isaiah 24:4 The earth mourns and fades away, the world languishes and fades away, the haughty people of the earth do languish. 5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. 6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
Especially should we consider what is taking place in our world, as more and more cold water is thrown over the sacred utterances of the scriptures, in favor of philosophies, doctrines, and modes of thought and action that are diabolically opposed to God. This inevitably will result in the removal of hedges, if and when the mercy and long-suffering of God has run its course. God is merciful indeed, and he bears with humanity’s failings, and errors for very, many years, but there comes a time when He must pack up and leave, if we insist on rejecting His overtures.
When things do reach a tipping point, then God’s defense department winds down its operations, in behalf of those who reject His word. This, above all other reasons, is why we are witnessing increases in crimes, in violence, in endless wars, in diseases, in temperatures, and in the utter intransigence of our political apparatus.
In other words, with the accelerated rejection of the word of God, will come the inevitable, accelerated winding down of God’s defense department, and it would reach a stage where God can only protect His own. This isn’t a figment of our imagination, it’s the unadulterated word of God speaking.
Revelation 7:And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
